What is writing? Is it simply scribbling of words on a sheet of paper? Or is it an expression of an opinion or feeling that you have inside?

These are the questions that are usually asked to people who love to write. For me it is the last, it is an expression of an opinion or feeling. I usually write because I have this heavy feeling inside. It’s as if it lessens the burden I am carrying inside. Besides in writing I could say everything without fearing that I am going to hurt someone. Well, as long as no one see the end product of it.

Writing becomes an outlet for me since I was in high school. I never give it much thought then. It was like when I feel sad, I wrote a poem or just anything on a paper that describes how I feel. But as I grow older, I noticed that putting what I feel on paper definitely lightens my heart. There was even a point where I got deeply infatuated with someone only to find out that he got someone else. I cried. I really don’t know what to do. I remember feeling dizzy. I sat on front of the computer then start to write. That’s when I realized that it actually feel good to write. It as if by putting what I feel on paper, someone shared the pains, anger and frustration I have inside. It also helps me in making decisions. After I wrote all the things on my mind, I take time reading it again to help me decide on things. As I go through it I was able to understand where the problem is and be able to make peace with it.

Maybe to others this may not be the case, but one thing I’m sure, people who take time to write, have more time learning themselves than those who don’t bother at all. If you just give just one hour or half an hour of your time everyday. That would mean a lot. For through it you can definitely find ways to improve yourself. Be free of anger and frustration and be a better person at the end.
